YUGO ARMY CACHE-IS YOURS ONE?
« on: May 02, 2015, 11:04:20 am »
Hi guys, last year I bought one of the ebay ex Yugo army NF from GI Surplus . I bought mine after a guy (maybe you?) bought 4, so that's 5 of the original 10. Who on here bought one ? I would be interested to know where they all ended up . It would be nice to think they are all running or in the process. Hands up then!

Tonya has one (now a bobber) and there's another one in Scotland.
Don't know who bought the four, but presumably a Trader?
Are you on Facebook?
The Facebook Groups a bit more active than this forum...  :(

I remember now, 1 was done up ready for sale, 4 went to one person before me so that's 6 including mine so tonya's is 7 leaving the remaining 3 yet to be accounted for.
 I have copies of the original auction paperwork if anyones interested for all ten, which may help with registering if you haven't already done so.

I have 1, I bought it for pure nostalgia as I had one before and enjoyed it. I now realise I am not going to use it so intend putting it up for sale. I have a fairing and screen also a brand new leather skirt. The fairing had a few cracks which I have filled needs a paint job. Also have pannier rack and panniers which I may sell separately. Anyone interested would have to either collect or organise collection as due to size cant package them.

I bought Georges bike a few weeks back and it is a runner. Funnily enough there is a picture of it on the GI surplus website as if they still have it for sale. I have had it MOT d and its now on the road but I have a few bits and pieces to sort out.

Just registered on this forum, I've got one which i brought of a friend who got it from GI 3 years ago, he has done nothing to it. Started it today- much work to be done.

Hi - I also have 1 from that batch, had it shipped to Germany.  It had a few more problems than I was expecting (especially considering it had a fresh MOT!) so it is still under partial rebuild, then I have to jump through all the hoops to put it onto German registration.  Am hopeful that it should be done for this summer.
Spares resources are quite good over here, the NF seems to be popular.

Yes, you soon find the MOT's not worth the paper it's written on. Some of the JNA ones seem to have been in pretty poor shape (which is why i didn't buy one).
As you say, Germany's the place to be for parts, with The Netherlands a close second and perhaps Italy.
There's still no word of where the lorry loads of spares purchased at the same auction (in Serbia or Croatia) ended up, but I assume with one of the established dealers.
